there actually is alot of difference in a jdm motor and a usdm motor take for instance when i ordered a valve cover gasket through one of my local shops it took them 3 days to get it.... just a f-ing valve cover gasket...you know why because they had to order it from japan ...the sr20det was never released it america and parts over here are hard to come by...but if i found a jdm spealized shop they would have the connects and know how to get me what i need ... it has nothing to do with me thinking jdm is better than usdm im just tired of dealing with shops that looks down on my car for having a japanese motor ...like the old school muscle car types.... they dont like having to look for parts and then when they have to order from over seas i get fitted a pretty hefty bill .... i just need to find a good reialable jdm swap shop who knows about them threw and threw and will take care of......thanks for all of yalls help ive had a few posts about shop im going to check them out after this snows clears but keep them coming please
